So the whole idea, as I understand it, was for the ethanol to help supplement the gasoline supply? But it gives less power per throttle position, so you have to give it MORE throttle (meaning burning more fuel) to get the same acceleration straight gasoline would give. Which probably means overall gas mileage is worse, which means you are using MORE ethanol laced fuel for every mile you drive.
They say the line between genius and insanity is VERY thin, and I think the geniuses in Washington D.C. that came up with this plan fell LOTS of lines short of hitting the genius side of the line.....
Or someone with friends in high places is making some serious money off of this boondoggle.
